Life: Unusual Circumstances

706 Words3 Pages

Unusual Circumstances Life is very challenging due to being able to find yourself and learn what you want to do in life. Your path may not always be simple and easy but it’s one heck of a ride to find out where it might be heading. There will be several surprises in your life that may or may not be a good thing but you have to always see the bright side of things. No matter the circumstance it is important to keep your head up and never give up in life to do better for yourself. In the begining of highschool it was very challenging for me to balance school and friends making me choose friends which in this case was so not important or even worth it. Friends change, just like seasons and you might not always have the same ones. Several people that you might come across with are people who just teach you a lesson and aren’t in your life for the long run. My freshman friends taught me a lot because I am not so close to any of them, but during the time they sure did distract me from everything in my life. I started being disrespectful to my parents and not care about my grades. It was very challenging to even have a conversation with my parents because I wouldn 't listen, or wouldn 't care about the things they had to say. My freshman year was horrible but that was nothing compared to my sophomore year. My sophomore year was even more challenging cause right from the start I started to fool around and go out right after high school as if I didn’t have any homework. Most of
